Photo sorting question

Hello,
I am brand new to iMAC world -- got my computer Saturday. Is it possible to sort photos within Faces or Places in any particular way? Meaning that once I identify multiple photos of a particular person in Faces -- can I then sort the identified photos by the date the photo was taken or something like that??
Thanks

Not a problem when using iPhoto on a Mac, which the transfer of photos is primarily based on - not manually managing photo storage as seems to be common with Windoze.
The same should be available with a supported photo management app on a PC.

IPad2 iOS5 random photo sorting bug?

After upgrading my iPad2 to iOS5, the photo sorting in albums appears to be totally randomized which makes it pretty much unusable. Is this a bug? Before the upgrade, it used to be sorted by the time the photo was taken and this was at least better than apparent random sorting. Reverting to the previous sort method would be a good fix. Better would be to have a simple way to control the sort order.

I have lion and all of the latest updates, moved from mobile me to i cloud but my "albulms" on the i pod, i phone and i pad won't stay in the same order that they are in i photo or i tunes. The genius bar at the store went through everything and said that it's an update problem that will have to fix it. I hope they get to work quickly. 2 years ago I was promised by a senior tech that the album sorting problem would be fixed in i photo (about 20% of my albums won't stay sorted by title no matter what I do and about 80% will) and that has never been fixed.
I pray that they read these forums and realize their problems that need to be fixed because it's impossible to go to a saved item on my iphone or ipad without any order to the sorting.

Photo Storage Question

Hi: When I take a photo with my C3 and designate it be stored on the microSD Disk is the photo also stored temporarily on the phone's internal memory?
Thanks, Chato
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Farby:
Thanks for you input. The photos in question were taken 4 months ago but the phone has only been used for a couple of hours since then. What I'm looking for is secure eraesure of photos before upgrading phone!

Photo stream questions, sharing, etc.

Shared photo stream questions
Camera Roll (CR), Photo Stream (PS)
If I create a shared PS and share it with a friend, is this temporary like the main PS (most recent 1000 images)?
For example, if I put one photo in a shared PS and then take 1000 new photos (but I don't add it to the shared PS), presumably it will disappear from my main PS, but will the original photo disappear from the shared PS, too?
I noticed that each month I have a new monthly event titled, for example, "August photo stream", etc. Are these temporary, too? If I take 1000 photos in September, will the August PS event start to lose images, or will this only occur in the main PS section?
Apple's web site says "iCloud stores new photos for 30 days, so you have plenty of time to connect your iOS device to Wi-Fi and make sure you always have your most recent shots handy." What does this mean? If I take a photo on iPhone it's permanently in CR (until I sync with iTunes on OS X and then iPhoto offers to remove them from CR), but they're also in PS, which is temporary, right? If so, as long as CR is permanent, how big an issue is the 30 day rule?
Here's where I'm (further) confused...
On iPad, my PS section (the tab on bottom) only has 30, relatively recent photos. Each photo was taken with iPhone.
However, on iPhone, my PS section has 547 images. Some of these were taken as screen shots from iPad (even though they're not on iPad's PS??) Some of the images were "Save As... " image files from OS X, some were photos imported to desktop iPhoto from a camera. Many of the images were taken years ago. On desktop iPhoto, I have over 3000 images, but the images on iPhone's PS do not appear to be the most recent 1000 images imported to iPhoto.
So why did iPad's screen shots disappear from iPads PS yet appear on iPhone's PS?
Why aren't the two iOS device's PS sections the same?
Is this confusing to everyone, or am I just dense?
Thanks!

You are most likely using the same apple id under settings>iCloud. If you just want to stop the photo sharing you can open settings>iCloud and turn off photostream. If you want to keep using photostream and still not share you need to set up an alternate apple id to use under settings>icloud

Sorting question over state...

Hi there,
Anyone know where you amend the over state / hover of an option in a sorting question ???
Been looking in the object style manager but can't find it in there...
Thanks in advance...

You are talking about the partially transparent grey bar that appears when hovering over an answer in the Sequence type of questions. There is no style that can be customized AFAIK. It is not even changing with the included themes. Same is valid for the connecting lines in matching questions that are always black, color cannot be changed for them neither. It is a pity, would recommend you enter a feature request to be able to customize the color of both the hover bar and those lines.

Photo sorting criteria 9.2.1

I think we have all noticed the change in the photo sorting criteria with the new 9.2.1 version of iTunes.
Before, sorting was alphabetical. Now, it is by "date last changed" of photo.
If you do not have iPhoto, there appears to be no way to change the settings/ criteria for the sequencing of the photos (and hence, slideshow). This is infuriating for clients who are not set up in the "new criteria" format (the photo option on iPod is now practically redundant!).
i.e. it seems that Apple have changed the sort criteria without giving clients any option (other than to buy their software...).
Or am I missing something?

I've had this very same issue and it's making me very upset. I'm looking for an answer to this!

N86 photo storage question.

Is it possible to set up a separate folder in which to store photos, so they don't appear in the albums? For example, if I am using the phone like a flash drive, just as a means of transferring files from one location to another.

Perserving Photo Sort

I created a new Slideshow in iPhoto 5. In this slideshow, I manually arranged the photos. I now want to move this into iMovie, but I now realize I should have created an album instead of slideshow. Is there any way to preserve the photo sort in my slideshow and get them into iMovie or into an iPhoto album?
Thanks.
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Catfish,
In the slideshow viewing strip-highlight the first image
scroll to the end an Shift click the last image so all are now selected.
Go to Photos>batch change
Change the "title" to "Text"
In the text field put in the name of the slideshow
Each image will have the slideshow name and be numbered from the first to last.
Now go and highlight the library in the source column.
On the bottom right of the viewing window put in the name of the slideshow text in the search box.
Your search will come up with all the images in the slideshow
Now select all
Go to File>new album from selection
Your new album will open
Now here is where it should work for the order, but it doesn't and it drives me crazy.
Go to View>sort photos>by title
What you will get is 1, then 11, the 12 which is a pain because you want 1, then 2, then 3
At least you have them numbered correctly so if you use the album in iMovie you do know where to place the images as they are numbered.

Photo sorting and sync

I have iphoto album on Mac OSx operating system, and current IOS 5.1.1 I Pad with Iphoto intalled. Still when I sync the Mac OSX album to the iPad, the photo sort and caption does not sync to Ipad. Instead the album is installed on ipad only by date and time photo was taken. How do I get the correct sorting (and the captions) to translate on IPAD album?

IPad photos sort by size, largest disk size to smallest?

iPad photos sort by size, largest disk size to smallest?

PS. I searched for exact phrase "sort iPad photos by size" on Google and I am aghast that there were ZERO RESULTS.

Photo-Sort app. for iPad won't let me open it after purchase!

Hello,
I just purchased the Photo-Sort app for iPad but when I click on the icon it does not open. It does a little strange blip and then nothing happens.
Anyone know how I can use this app and ix this problem?

I would delete it and redownload it. If you signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the any app you will not be charged again.

Photo Sorting on iPad and iPhone all screwed up - HELP

I don't know when exactly this happened - but in one of the recent updates in the last two months of either iTunes, iPhoto, or iOS something was changed in the photo sorting algorithms. iPhoto does not seem to dictate the sort order any more?
I have a smart album in iphoto that is called "our best pics" and that automatically takes the top ranked pictures and sorts them by date. That used to be perfectly mirrored on the iPad and iPhones in our household. Since a few weeks, this does not work anymore. The order of the pictures in the album are now very random, but identical on all iOS devices. I tried deleting the pictures and re-syncing, but nothing changes. Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks Klaus

Spare yourself the pain. Use 3rd apps to sort you photos.

Wanted: photo sorting software

I need some guidance as to suitable photo-sorting software. I'm pretty sure iPhoto isn't what I want, but I thought this forum the best place to ask.
I am generating audio-visuals in Adobe Premiere, mostly consisting of scanned slides. The images are mostly scanned slides in multi-layered Tiff format, typically about 100 MB. Before jumping into Premiere, I'd like to pre-sort the images. Typically, the images might come from a dozen folders and number anywhere from 50 to 500. Some considerations:
I don't want to alter my existing folder structure.
I don't want the software to copy the images, just link to them. I could handle the software making reduced-size, preview copies, say in jpeg format.
I don't need to edit, add metadata, upload, share, run a slideshow or do anything with the images other than sort them and look at them.
I need to be able to save the "Sort" as a file so I can back it up. What I mean by the "Sort" file is the data that allows the images to be sorted, not the actual images. The saved "Sort" would be a very small file.
To sum up: I'm looking for image-shuffling software. Adobe Bridge is very good, but fails point 4. I can't save the "Sort" file except via copying some folder buried ten folders deep. And Bridge seems to copy the images and thereby clog my system.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the responses.
Terence: I probably should have used the word "shuffle' instead of sort. By "Sort" I mean the order in which the slides appear: slide 1, slide 2, slide 3…
A particular show might have, say, 500 slides from 37 different folders on my hard drive. I want to be able to drag them one-by-one into a window and arrange them in order. The process may extend over several weeks as slides are added or removed, so I want to be able to back up the "Sort". For instance, so that a friend can work on the "Sort" on their computer.
Once the "Sort" is finalised, that's it for the sorting program. I don't want to renumber the images and export to USB stick, like you might do for a manual slide presentation, because the slides are already indexed in a database so I can find them easily. For example, if I'm looking for a slide of Lake Pedder, dated before 1970, taken by John Pickford, I can find them in a few seconds by searching the database. One of those slide might have the label PiJ27, which tells me it's slide #27 located in the Pickford J folder.
The next step is to type the slide labels into the script:
[PiJ27] "Lake Pedder in Tasmania's south-west was…"
[RG83] "But now it's not there no more…"
Then I manually import the slides into Premiere and dump them into the Timeline.
So, it's a slide-shuffling program I'm looking for. Sorting, as such, doesn't come into it.

Why are my photos sorted alphabetical in iPhoto (which is what I want) but in date order on my iPhone & iPad?

One for the iPad or iPhone forums I would guess. There is no iPhoto for iOS
